3. Goals: Aims/Outcomes-
1.Students to be able to identify different parts of the heart and their functions
 
4. Objectives-
1.Students will define different parts of the heart.
2.Students will determine the difference between "good" and "bad" cholesterol
3.Students will identify different procedure to determine clots (DVT's) and problems with the heart function.
 
5. Materials and Aids-
power point slides, projector, blood pressure machine, pulse oximeter
 
6. Procedures/Methods-

A. Introduction-

1.Heat disease is the number one killer in the United States.
2.Ways we treat our bodies when we are young determine how our bodies and heart's function later in life.
 

B. Development-

1.Teacher will show power point slides that summarize important aspects about the heart.
2.Teacher will show the blood pressure machine and pulse oximeter.
 

C. Practice-

1.Students will be assisted in taking blood pressure and using the pulse oximeter.

 

D. Independent Practice-

1.Students will be asked questions in open discussion and called upon to answer these questions
2.Students will color a diagram of the heart indicating which side of the heart has oxygenated blood and which has de-oxygenated blood.
 

E. Checking for understanding-

1.Students will be graded on their participation in open discussion and questions asked of them during class discussion.
2. Students will be graded on their knowledge of the circulation of blood through the heart by the coloring of oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood.
 

F. Closure-

1. Students will have the opportunity to continue practicing with the manual and automatic blood pressure as well as the pulse oximeter.
 
7. Evaluation-
1. Students will be evaluated on their knowledge of the blood circulation of the heart.
2. Students will be evaluated on different aspects associated with blood flow through the heart such as blood pressure and diagnosis of DVT, or blood clots.
